Redhats are neither whitehat nor blackhat, but a mix of both. Adapted from early RPG games where white mages used healing, protective "good" spells, black mages used elemental, destructive "bad" spells, and red mages had a selection of spells from both.

Examples of redhats:
- People who are hired to find security holes in a network, do so, but create new exploits in order to take advantage of later.

- Someone who breaks into a secure area and then informs the owner that they can fix the security holes if they hire them.

- Someone who works in network security and uses their job experience to take advantage of exploits either within their own company or elsewhere.
